Awarded the Best Buy Award by Treadmill Doctor and featured throughout many news articles including CNN, Yahoo!, Popular Mechanics and Smart Money, making the TR1200-DT5 Treadmill Desk is our most popular model. Made for the mid-level user, it's the perfect option for single users who expect to do a lot of their work on the treadmill desk or for small teams expecting to share throughout the day. This is coupled with our DT-5 manual height adjustment desk great for individuals or small teams where height adjustment is infrequent. If you think height adjustment will be more frequent, check out our DT-7 electric height adjustable desk, this makes adjusting for each individual easy as 1-2-3.
Treadmill Lubricant
Equipment Mat
The treadmill desk is Bluetooth-enabled to wirelessly sync your activity data to your Windows or Mac computer with our free downloadable computer app. Track steps taken, walking time, calories burned and distance traveled all on your computer screen as you walk. Once complete, sync your data with your online LifeSpan Fitness Club account to record your walking history.
Manual Desktop Height Adjustment
Comfortably fits users from 4'10" to 6'8" tall. The stable desktop frame is unattached from the treadmill and stands alone, ensuring that any movement of the treadmill stays isolated and is not transferred to the desktop.
Easy Access Console
This console is perfectly located for easy access without taking away your desktop area. The digital LED display shows steps taken, walking time, calories burned, distance traveled and walking belt speed. The console has a safety key that shuts down the treadmill when removed. The padded armrests add comfort and support to help avoid wrist fatigue in long work sessions.
Heavy Duty Workspace
The desktop has a 1" thick composite board and durable laminate surface set on a rigid steel frame. It is large enough to hold all of your electronic devices and still have ample room for other personal items.
Intelli-Guard and Intelli-Step Features
The TR1200-DT5 comes standard with two LifeSpan trademarked technologies: The built-in Intelli-Guard™ pauses the belt if you step off. This is our unique safety feature for the user and those around them. When your foot no longer continuously strikes the belt surface for 20 seconds, your treadmill will automatically pause.The Intelli-Step™ feature counts and records the number of steps you take and displays them on the console. This feature automatically detects the impact of your foot striking the treadmill belt. Increasing step count is one of the foundations of the American Heart Association's recommendations for improving heart and overall health.

I am a software developer, and work at a desk 8 hours a day, then spend the next 6 hours before bed, surfing the web/playing games, etc. Needless to say, not a very healthy habit.
I've yet to use this while working because my monitor wobbles with each step, which is unavoidable, but coasting at 2mph while surfing the web, throughout the day, without having to head to the gym and back, is great!
I'd give it 5 stars, but the desktop app used to sync your workout data to the cloud is horrible. The Lifespan fitness web portal is horrible (functions of the website doesn't work in Chrome..must use IE). Sometimes the data doesn't sync, and you lose it, although the desktop app says it uploaded the data. If it weren't for the buggy, unreliable workout software, this would be a perfect product.

Hello Lifespan - thank you for making this assembly truly easy as pie. I bought this for myself for Christmas and my husband was dreading helping me assemble it. Especially since the Treadmill doctors on Amazon wanted $250 for assembly. Totally unnecessary expense. Setup was a breeze. If I didn't need someone to help be take the treadmill out of the box and lift the desk onto the stand, I could have done it all by myself. I'm looking forward to doing less sitting in my home office in 2014. I'll be back to review the treadmill desk from actual use but was so excited about setup, I just had to post this review. (Posted on 12/28/13)
Treadmill and desk are great! I am adding hours of exercise to my day, all while at work. I highly recommend this treadmill desk! (Posted on 11/1/13)
Both my husband and I work from home. It's so easy to look up, realize the day is almost over and we never left the house! So we knew we needed to make some changes.
After reading so many positive reviews about this treadmill desk, we decided to make the investment. We did have some challenges with the white glove service, but LifeSpan took care of everything!
Working and walking is much easier than we expected. We're very happy with the product and look forward to getting lots of use out of it. (Posted on 7/27/13)
I've had my TR1200-DT5 for about 3 weeks and absolutely love the treadmill and workstation, but have thrown in the towel with getting the bluetooth to work. The durability of the workstation desk can probably withstand a nuclear attack. The treadmill is pretty quiet, at least no one on my business calls can tell I'm walking the whole time. The Bluetooth is another matter altogether. I've read other reviews on this site about similar problems with getting the bluetooth to connect to the computer, so I'm sure it's not an isolated issue. I've called Lifespan Technical Support, who had me uninstall and reinstall the Treadmill Desk App Software, but the bluetooth works for a day, then stops working. I spent an average of 30 minutes every morning rebooting the treadmill, rebooting my computer, following precise steps supplied by Customer Support for establishing a connection, and finally decided it wasn't worth the effort. Instead, I purchased a Fitbit One which will track my steps and upload the data seamlessly via my iphone or computer. Fitbit's manual activity logging is far superior to the lifespan site. I can't imagine anyone actually paying for this service after their trial runs out. So sorry guys, you make great hardware, but your software could use some serious improvements. (Posted on 7/25/13)
I LOVE my treadmill desk. I tell everyone about it. I had been thinking about something like this for several years. Did a bunch of research, figured out how it would fit in my tiny home office and finally decided on the LifeSpan. I work on average 10 hours a day and many days more. I work weekdays and weekends. Always, found it hard to make the time for a little exercise.
I usually walk my dog about 2 – 2.5 miles in the morning, then hop on my treadmill desk for about 3 - 4 hours. I do mostly computer/phone work and I'm averaging about 2.8 miles per hour, and still being able to type/talk with no problems. When I'm on a conference call, that I only have to listen in on, I ramp it up to 3.5 mph. If I'm going to have to do any talking on the call, I usually keep it about 3 mph. My goal is to just keep moving during the day. I've had a "desk job" for about 8 years and I feel like it really takes its toll in a number of ways.
I work from home, so the concerns of some about sweating throughout the day, don't really apply. My dog doesn't care as long as she gets her walk first
I haven't "retro fitted" it with anything special like a lot of posts I read. I work off a laptop and just move it from the treadmill to my docking station and back as needed. Really need to convince my company to get me a wireless printer!
That's about it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Worth every penny!
Thank you!

I have had my TR1200-DT5 treadmill desk for 41 days and absolutely LOVE it! It's very sturdy/well-made. I have a sedentary job, sitting in front of a computer, 10+ hours a day, working from home. I have always struggled with making time to exercise. And I have tried all sorts of things to motivate myself. One round involved using a pedometer to try get to 10,000 steps walked / day. I couldn't get close. Now, I walk 10,000 steps at least 5 days/week. I've lost 5 pounds and feel great. Just what this 49 year old needed! (Posted on 5/5/13)
I am completing month 1 with my tread desk and love it. I bought a monitor arm and almost immediately was able to type efficiently. I do make more mistakes than before so I have to check myself carefully and my speed is not what it is at a sit down desk, but getting better.
My typical day is about 6 hours at the tread desk averaging 2.3 for typing and about 2.8 for conference calls or research. I use a headset and I have asked all my colleagues and no one can hear the tread desk. It does however make a rythmic thumping sound for the tenant in the suite below me, but she hasn't complained (and she does complain about the high heels on the hardwood in the common area). I have a pad under my desk and it is on carpeting also. I average about 40-50 miles a week and I am typically in the office 3-4 days a week. I am losing a pound a week without effort at all and my goal is to complete 2 "marathons" a week eventually. I also supplement it with fast walking outside at lunch sometimes and get an extra 4 miles in those days. Truly everyone should try this. I have offered everyone in my company one if they will commit to 3 hours a day. No one has taken me up yet due to the newness. I think they want to make sure I stay committed and I know I will! Stay tuned, a lot of orders might be coming in soon.
The only technical issue I have is my tread seems to drift to the right often and I have to adjust it. I do lubricate it every week, but not sure how to keep it from drifting. I also can't get the bluetooth to work (like the other reviewers).
By the way, I have never done a product review; but they are the reason I finally bought a tread desk so I thought I should also share my experiences. (Posted on 3/21/13)
I have been using my treadmill desk for about 2 weeks (Feb 2013). I purchased the 2013 model with the bluetooth capability. So far I really like it, I previously used the treadmills at the gym but I found myself getting frustrated thinking of everything I needed to do. Now I can get as much exercise as I want while doing other things.
The desk is very stable, although not perfectly still (I have a large flat screen TV on a shelf sitting on top of the desktop and it shakes a tiny bit when I am walking. Most of the time I use it at 1.5 or 2 mph and it is very quiet at these speeds. When I walk at 3 mph though, there seem to be more noises (sqeaks, etc. not just an increase in the hum present at the lower speeds). Overall though it seems to be solidly built.
The biggest problem I have is with the bluetooth functionality, treadmill desk app and LifeSpan Fitness Club. I purchased a bluetooth adapter for my computer so that it could communicate with the treadmill and to be honest I am very disappointed. First the instructions for how to make this work are almost non-existent. To use this feature you need to register for a LifeSpan Fitness Club account (you get a 4 month trial free with purchase of the treadmill desk) and once you are logged in, download the treadmill app. Once you have installed the treadmill app, start it and press the Bluetooth button on the treadmill to connect the treadmill to your computer. The app will then display your stats from the treadmill (which the display on the treadmill is already doing). The only thing this app can really do is transmit the numbers to your LifeSpan Fitness Club account- if you don't sync the app with your fitness club account (which transfers the data), it will lose the data the next time you connect to the treadmill after resetting the treadmill counters. Unfortunately the transfer from the app to the Fitness Club is not very reliable. The calories and distance are usually correct but I have found the number of steps to be off and the time seems to be a completely random number (I must be a superhero to be able to walk 8 miles in 40 seconds). Recently I synced the app with my account after midnight so the data were entered for the following day. When I tried to sync the following evening (technically the same day as the prior sync) it never transfered the data so I had to enter it manually in the Fitness Club account. While you can edit the data that you enter manually, you cannot edit the synced data- so even though I knew the actual times, I could not correct them or change the day for the data uploaded after midnight. The treadmill app does have some historical data on it (displayed as a bar chart) but it is only for one week and apparently it gets this data from your LifeSpan Fitness Club account because even though the original numbers shown on the app were correct, the historical numbers are the incorrect ones.
Basically if you don't purchase a LifeSpan Fitness Club membership after your 4 month trial ends, the bluetooth feature is totally worthless. Since the data transfer is inaccurate/unreliable and there is no way to manually fix it, even if you have a membership it is not worth much at this point. It is safer to just manually enter the data and if you have to manually enter it anyway, there are a number of websites that will track your progress for free. However, if you are someone who will use the other features, like the exercise library, you may find the fitness club to be more useful.
To be honest, I was expecting this feature to automatically load and store my daily data in a stand-alone program on my computer (a program that I expected to be included with the treadmill purchase). I am also not happy with all the personal information that was required to open an account so that I could get the treadmill app, only to discover it was not very useful. Why do they need my exact date of birth, name, address, phone number, email, sex, height and weight just to enroll in the fitness club?
Overall, I really like the treadmill desk but I'm not sure the bluetooth feature and treadmill app really provide any additional benefit. Whether the fitness club is valuable or not depends on the individual and how much they will use it's various features. It appears that the fitness club website is still under development so it may become more useful over time.

I bought the TR1200-DT5 Treadmill Desk combination mid November. I had thought about the purchase for about a month. I wanted to make sure that i would use it. I trade stocks for myself all day long during the regular market hours. I've been doing this for 12 years and have always felt guilt and kind of down about all the time I was having to sit and stare at a computer screen. I now work absolutely guilt free and log on an easy 15000 steps a day. I'm mostly at a 2.2 mile an hour pace and sometimes step it up and other times slow down to 1.4 I absolutely recommend the computer desk to anyone stuck sitting for long periods of time. I'm so much happier now that I'm not stuck sitting down. I have a renewed enthusiasm to do my job and don't resent it anymore. Gotta say: the BEST purchase I have ever made. Thank you! PS...extremely well built desk that holds my laptop & an extra monitor. Desk does not move or shake at all as it is independent of the treadmill. Treadmill is very quiet. It's a large unit so measure before you figure out where to set it up. Also I paid for the 'room of choice' delivery and happy I did as it is heavy to bring up stairs. Buy it...you won't regret it :O) (Posted on 1/16/13)
Love the overall treadmill, etc., but I am frustrated at the bluetooth connectivity. I am unable to connect and can not find any resource help from the company. Also never get a person online just mail (Posted on 1/16/13)
About 2 weeks in, I'm really excited about the treadmill desk. Walking about 3mi/day and using mostly on conference calls and for reading. Still getting used to typing/writing and hopefully will get the hang of it. Treadmill is high quality and desk is very stable. Setup was not difficult (hardest part was moving all the heavy equipment around). Unit is very quiet, which was my biggest concern. No problem for phone calls or office neighbors. (Posted on 1/8/13)
I've been averaging two hours a day on this since I got it. Exercise is easy to fit in. I hardly notice I am exercising. Feeling strong. (Posted on 12/8/12)
Just ordered and have been using for a week. It takes a little time to get used to walking and typing (as I am now) however my motivation was to log 10,000 steps a day. Piece of cake. I normally sit all day at work and now I am dividing my time between both. Goal for December 2012 is 500,000 steps (100 miles) should be easy. Looking forward to the weight loss to! (Posted on 11/30/12)
Excellent product and customer support. I can do without the countdown and slow start, but that's nothing compared to the benefits. I'm walking about 6 hours a day and burning over 1500 calories.
My only suggestion would be to add interfaces (iPod, USB, power, speakers) to the desk. There's plenty of room for add ons. Also, how about a hydraulic lift to raise and lower the desk for multiple users?
GREAT PRODUCT TEAM!! I'VE ALREADY SOLD 5 FOR YOU. (Posted on 10/23/12)
I've been using my Treadmill Desk for about 6 months and it has made such a difference in my life. I came back to the website to see if LifeSpan had released any new products and to give me feedback for the desk. Overall, wonderful sturdy product. My one suggestion would be to add an extra digit to the read out. I like to know how many steps I have taken in a day and it would be nice to see the counter keep moving past 9,999 steps instead of rolling over. I know, not a big deal and that slot wouldn't be used very much by the calorie count or distance count. Still it would be nice. Anyway, I highly recommend this desk. (Posted on 10/11/12)
I will want to mention something about the service and support of the company behind it. Within 3-4 weeks my treadmill developed a thumping sound. Although machine was perfectly usable but I felt that it is going to get worse. I left them an email over the weekend. I was expecting the usual email and bracing my self for a long drawn out fight over the next coming days. Also, I was concerned on how to send this thing back to Amazon if I had to. On Monday I received a call in which the person after asking a few questions, which neither insulted my judgment or questioned my integrity, told me to wait for a motor in mail and a technician in person. And that is what happened. The day the motor arrived, the technician (Mr. Ralph) called for the appointment. He showed up, changed the motor and gave me a few papers to sign and that is it! This is one of the best services I have received in my life. (Posted on 9/25/12)
After a week, I'm thrilled with the unit. Is quiet, well made and easy to operate.
Ideally it would be nice to have a resume button to avoid multiple button pushes to re-set the speed, since I pause many times during a log session.
The dictation feature with the new Mac operating system makes the whole experience even more delightful...I just push a button and talk! When I must use the trackpad and type, it's easy. Handwriting is more difficult. (Posted on 9/20/12)
I love my treadmill, I can use my lap top computer while walking and different intervals and it makes time fly by faster. (Posted on 9/17/12)
Before commenting on my experience with this new line of product, I will point out few things which hopefully will help someone improve his or her experience with it.
1. Run and get a Trackpad like Apple Magic Trackpad if you have an Apple, otherwise Logitech trackpad or something similar that works for Windows. It will help you walk at much faster speed. Point and Shoot with a regular mouse gets progressively more difficult (and frustrating) as you approach the speeds of 2mph. I can easily do 3mph with trackpad but found difficult to handle mouse at 1.5mph.
2. Get a Keyboard without a wrist pad. There should be minimum distance between treadmill's armrest and your keyboard. I have found that if you keep your palms firmly on treadmill's armrest, they absorb most of the shock and your fingers remain steady for the most part. That is why the mouse does not work as well as say a track-pad because hands while operating a mouse are not pinned to a solid surface and are constantly in a flux.
3. Memorize keyboard shortcuts. Again the idea is to restrict your hand movement as much as possible. You'll find that there are shortcuts for nearly everything.
4. If possible invest in a bigger screen. Initially, I tried to work off my laptop but found it hard. Small screen and keyboard not close to body makes working more difficult because your body is also moving. I then got a 25 inch monitor and it has really made a difference.
Remember, chances of your using this are directly proportional to how much stress-free you make this for yourself; therefore improving you input devices or even getting a bigger monitor is not a bad investment to protect your much larger investment in the treadmill.
I have done about 100 miles in about 40 hours on this one, so I cannot say anything about its durability but it has already started producing a new noise and I am going to call support to find out what it is.
But I must say that this machine seems to have a potential of what you call a life-changing product, like an iPhone or a GPS. Let's see how far it goes in getting the weight of the nation down. From day one I found it easy to work on. Now after a month I can easily do 2 hours (500 calories) without feeling any real strain (mental or physical), although I am breaking sweat by that time.
But you have to start slow. Start with 30 minutes sessions.
Of course, it is not a perfect machine. It is definitely less noisy and runs more smoothly than your average run of the mill treadmill but it is not noise free by any means. Also, it does not have an easy way to adjust the desk's height, so if there is more than one treadmill walker in house, then it could be a problem. Your next best option is to put your monitor(s) on height adjustable stand(s). (Posted on 9/1/12)
I really like my new TR 1200 Treadmill Desk. I posted a full review with a video and other information on my website of it comparing this desk to others I tried out. The TR1200 was by far my favorite!

I received my Treadmill Desk prior to surgery and had it set up in my home office. Once I began PT and was cleared to start walking, I began to use the Treadmill Desk as part of my recovery. Because of the work I did, many hours previously spent sitting I was able to walk at a very slow pace giving my back the break needed from the constant sitting position.
I was released from the surgeon earlier than expected due to the life style changes within my work setting. I am able to stand / sit throughout the day and WORK. Within an eight hour day, I am walking at least two hours! What a difference from sitting the whole time.
I have referred many others I work with to check out this product. (Posted on 8/26/12)
I'm averaging 90 – 120 minutes per day and have really adjusted to working on it. I was actually sore the first couple of weeks, which probably just reflects how deconditioned I was. But it's definitely doing something. I feel sharper and more energetic and am more decisive when I'm walking on it. The work surface is just the right size and fits in my office. Some others that I looked at were too big.
Delivery and set up were easy. It's great that the belt is already installed. Overall, I am thrilled with it, which I don't say very often…
My only very minor complaints are that when I restart it, it defaults to .5 mph rather than what I had it set at, plus the countdown seems unnecessary.

I've now read the reviews from all the happy, gushing, soon-to-be healthy people using this treadmill desk, but, being an engineer, I look past the personal stuff.
I had researched other treadmill desk components and combinations, and the one thing that struck me was how chintzy most were and what they cost. When I ran across this unit and saw the price, I was skeptical, but the shipping weight (as explained below) and the rating of the drive motor alone convinced me to buy and try.
None in my firm can believe that something with this much iron and weldments– never mind the huge desktop – costs only around $1,300 or so. This thing is stable as a rock, the treadmill is very quiet, and I can write, talk and draft (CAD) while cruising at 1.8 – 2 mph. I'm now averaging upwards of 8 miles per day, or 25,000 steps, give or take. I like that the treadmill stops counting steps when I get off.
A couple of things I would do – and I did.
1. Even though the treadmill has a safety stop that activates after so many seconds when one steps off the treadmill, I marked the belt every now and then on the sides with yellow paint dots so I could see if the belt was still moving when I stepped back on. This took me more time to find the marker than to apply the dots.
2. If the desktop is used properly with all the electronic office stuff we use today, the wires do become a bit of a rat's nest no matter how hard one tries to neaten the wire tray. So I mounted an industrial grade power strip on the underside of the desk top and everything plugs in there, with all the wires held underneath and up with conduit clamps, out of sight and out of mind. Now, I have only two cords to plug into the wall: the cord from the treadmill itself and the cord from the power strip. This retrofit took me an hour.
3. The fantastic lower cross brace of the desk absolutely begged to be used for some other purpose than just holding up the whole Megillah, so I bought a $19 metal grate shelf from Home Depot, cut it to the proper length and mounted it to the brace with a couple hose clamps. Now I have a 16" shelf for my computer docking station, dedicated treadmill sneakers and field logs. This took me a couple hours, including shopping at Home Depot and figuring out what would work the best.
I recommend this unit. 'Nuf said.

I received my LifeSpan treadmill desk last Friday and began using it on Tuesday. So far, I've logged 20 miles with little to no effort and it's only Thursday and a short work week! I've posted a photo of myself on the treadmill on my Facebook page and my friends are so excited. I use to work in the fitness/medical device industry and some of those friends are experts. One is a reporter (msn.com) and she's foaming at the mouth to get one herself.
I can already tell that this is the perfect device for my lifestyle. I am a relatively new older mom (I have a 16-month-old) and hold an executive position with a non-profit foundation. I work from home when I am not traveling and needed to find a way to integrate activity into my day - besides chasing my toddler. This is the ticket. I can already tell that my energy level is up (and I'm high energy anyway) and I am looking forward to starting my work day even more.
My husband is a physician and he's jealous that he can't have one at work (could be difficult since he's a dentist/oral surgeon).
I represent patients with lung disease of all kinds through my work with the American Thoracic Society and the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis. I can see this product being of great use for our patient population.
(Posted on 8/14/12)
I can not believe that I really just was able to get on and walk and accomplish work as well. It gets easier everyday. At the end of the day, it is satisfying to know that I was able to accomplish work and also exercise at the same time. I do not get that low at the middle of the day when all you want to do is take a nap, instead at the end of the day I feel like I have more energy.
Depending on what I have going on a specific day, I walk anywhere from 4-8 miles a day. I am on it as much as possible during my work day. I can comfortably go 2-2.3 mph while still working, no problem.
I am more than happy to recommend this product and I am looking forward to the long term health affects.

I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my treadmill. This treadmill has changed my life.
I had a really hard time finding the time to exercise before. I would come home after working all day and just sit down because I was so tired.
When I called to order a treadmill I wanted something that I would actually used. That is why I had it placed in my living room.
Well, I can tell you that I have used it every day. I started by walking 10 minutes in the morning and afternoon. I increased the time each day and now walk at least 30 minutes in the afternoon.
I use it while I use the phone, watch TV and many other things. I have more energy and feel so much better.
This treadmill is worth every single penny I paid!
I have told almost everyone at work how great the treadmill is. I just wish I had one there.
I just want to thank the gentleman who told me about this great invention. He was so easy going but really sold me on this.

We have a Treadmill Desk in our admissions office. It is shared by 4 users who – fortunately – are of similar height.
The one in our business office is still waiting for a computer and phone connection .. so is being used more as a way to exercise then work – hopefully that will be resolved soon.
My husband loves the one in our home…
My only suggestion would be to consider a power height adjustment model if you are going to market to places like ours that might have multiple users on the same unit.
I know there would be an increase in $$ but might be a nice option. Once you put a computer on top – it is not so easy to adjust if you are trying to do it a few times a day.

This is truly an amazing experience . I love going to walk or to work. :) (Posted on 8/14/12)
Firstly, let me say that I "ADORE" my treadmill desk and I brag about it constantly. I would like to help you if you still would like input. Let me add that I already eat very well as I'm a Registered Dietitian and vegan. But working at a desk all day and not finding the time to go to the gym lately I had put on some weight. When I thought "I" had a great idea to get a treadmill and rig a desk above it so I could walk and get some exercise while working. I started googling how to make one when I found that Lifespan actually had a complete unit that looked wonderful. I wanted to put it in my office and still have it look attractive.
Let's just say in the first 3 weeks I had lost 10 lbs. As of now, I've lost a total of 20.5 lbs. since December 7th when I got it. I'm now only 5.5 lbs from my goal weight. Pretty amazing because I really haven't changed my diet - I was already eating vegan after all. But burning about an extra 500 calories a day while on the desk, and the residual extra calorie burn from increased muscle mass from not sitting all day has made the weight loss pretty much effortless. I would also add that my husband was a skeptic - and wondered if and how long I would actually use it. He is definitely a believer now!
My favorite parts:
*Large desk for work notes, computer, beverage, etc.
*Love that it senses and counts your actual steps as you walk, you can step off it briefly and it stops counting because it doesn't sense your steps
*Love that it tells you calories burned, distance, etc.
*Love that the control and readout is right in front of you while you work
*Very very quiet
*Best part is that you don't even think about it when you use it, then you look down and see how far you walked!
I absolutely love this thing!

I love the new desk and have incorporated it into my work day. It certainly
has raised a lot of questions from people and many people want access to
Currently I am probably walking about 1-2 miles a day. This is worth promoting!

I purchased the Lifespan treadmill workstation as part of a New Year's resolution to move more. I'm a 25 year corporate travel agent and doing what I love I spend a lot of time in the office.
This has brought a brand new outlook at work. I have more energy and clarity during the day. It's great! In a month's time I've clocked over 100 miles.
Just this week I placed the unit on a ¾" sheet of composite board to give it a little more stabilization. I have it upstairs in my home office which is carpeted. This way I can clean and lubricate it without worry of the carpet.
I recommend it anyone who's looking to mix it up while they work.

My husband, Ross Dickstein, and I purchased this treadmill desk for our personal use in our shared medical office. We put it against a big window looking out to the mountains and walk on it between patients, while we read charts or make notes. It is a great way to keep moving through the day--very smooth to walk on and the desk is the right size for a few personal effects and for us to switch lap tops when the other person is in the mood to walk. I am happy to be part of this web-site. As doctors, we have been keeping up on the literature about sedentary office workers and worried that we would be setting a bad example for our own patients as well as allowing our own aging bodies to fall into the same bad habits we preach against.
We are glad to be part of this movement! We really wish more desk-workers would learn about this simple and fun change to their day-to-day routine.

As an orthopedic surgeon, I see every day the repercussions of a sedentary lifestyle, weight control problems, and lack of physical conditioning. Busy schedules can be to blame, but simply changing the way you manage your day can be the solution. Moving more at work can help manage the imbalance of physical activity and work schedules. I don't sweat more. I can type and read without problems. I am not short of breath on the phone. And most importantly, I have more energy at work.
Yes, I do get chuckles from people who see the desk. The laughs are quickly followed by questions. And the questions are almost always followed by requests to give it a try. My office staff is lining up to use my desk when I am at the hospital!

I have been fighting the battle of the bulge my entire adult life, and tried everything with little success. This wasn't because nothing worked, but I just simply gave up as I get bored or I get tied up at work. I have a desk job where I work from home unless on the road. I needed a complete change of thinking, one where I was working out WHILE doing what I had to do. The treadmill desk seemed perfect so I purchased the 1200DT from Lifespan as it seemed like the best setup for the money (not into building something myself). I was right, this thing is solid a rock and works exactly (if not better) than described. I can't comment on support as I haven't needed any, which in my opinion is a comment on its own. Thanks LifeSpan, this has changed the way I work and actually 3 of my friends have purchased them after hearing about it or seeing mine. Well worth the money and the commitment. (Posted on 8/12/12)

The criminal investigation into last week's deadly building collapse went high tech Tuesday as Montgomery County crime scene experts used a laser scanner to help city police recreate the collapse scene at 22nd and Market Streets where six people lost their lives. "I believe there's a rush to judgement. I believe my client is being scapegoated," said Attorney Daine Grey Jr., who represents accused backhoe operator Sean Benschop, now charged with six counts of involuntary manslaughter, risking a catastrophe and reckless endangerment. The investigation went on as new information surfaced about accused excavator operator Sean Benschop. City officials now confirm he was approved to do city demolition work and had five recent city contracts to do demolition projects totaling about $75,000. Included in that work was a demolition on page street and an unfinished job on 63rd Street. Tyrone Thompson lives up the block. "They used a backhoe for this," Thompson told FOX 29. "It was pretty professional. They weren't bad guys."The mayor's spokesman says Benschop met the city's qualifications to tear down "imminently dangerous" structures. He had the proper insurance and disclosed his prior criminal record before his firm, S & R Contracting, did work on city demolition projects.
Lex Allen lives next door to one of Benschop's job sites. "As far as I'm concerned he did a professional job, he just never finished it," Allen said.
"I know that he did not have any concerns about Mr. Benschop's fitness," said the attorney for contractor Griffin Campbell, who hired Benschop to operate this huge back hoe. He spoke out on behalf of his client Tuesday, saying he is not to blame for the collapse. "He is absolutely not responsible. His directions were clear. He was not operating the excavator. The excavator was not to be used for demolition purposes in that part of the building," Kenneth Edelin told a packed afternoon press conference.
"My client only followed orders and directions given by his superiors on the site. Period," Grey told FOX 29.
"How come the lowest man on the totem pole is being publicly dragged through the mud while the two people who may be more culpable than anybody have a secret grand jury process," Grey added, referring to the contractor and the property owners.
Police in Camden County are asking drivers to be alert after two carjackings since this weekend along one city street.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Tonight I made one of my family's favorite meals. J. had leftover barbecued tri-tip and asparagus with his salad since he tries to avoid carbs, but he couldn't resist a bowl of bolognese on its own. It's like Italian chili! The rest of the week is a little topsy-turvy because family is in town and the girls have Thursday and Friday off.
I think I'll spend the rest of the week cooking things for the freezer so that we have yummy things on hand for when the Bundle is born.
Monday: Spaghetti Bolognese (but made with ground turkey), butter lettuce salad with strawberry tomatoes and goat cheese. Chocolate pudding with whipped cream. (I'm freezing half the sauce.)
The rest of the week, I'm cooking things for the freezer like:
- White turkey chili with green chiles and hominy
- Foodmomiac's Meatloaf
- Korean Bulgogi Chicken
In general, I'm just trying to take it easy since the baby is due in just a few weeks.
What are you making this week?

Feedback on the Ubuntu Project
We have recently received feedback from the consultants of the Development Awareness Fund (a former fund of the government's Department for International Development, DfID) which funded the project OWW completed in March 2011, "Exploring Ubuntu: One World Week Across Faiths". We are delighted to share their comments with you:
"1) This was a well-managed project working with new target groups and as such provides an interesting model for collaboration with a wide range of community groups. You showed that you were able to respond well and be flexible as the project developed.
2) It is acknowledged that it can be difficult to monitor all project activities when you use a cascading model but nevertheless you appear to have collected sufficient evidence to show that your project has been successful. It would however be worth considering external evaluation in the future.
3) You have developed strong and close relationships with your partner organisations and they have made a significant contribution to the project. It is good to note that this will enhance the sustainability of the project and it is hoped that the DAF project will provide a sound platform for future initiatives."
Congratulations to all who were involved in the project. This endorsement serves as tremendous encouragement to us all to take the learning and experience of the project into future One World Weeks and to offer with confidence the Handbook which drew on that experience, "Piecing together One World" to new partners and organisers.

Comments On Sep 20, 2012:This is a beautiful, durable leather jacket. It looks nice and it is very comfortable. It's quality is fairly good, however I did discover a few holes in some of the pockets where the manufacturer did not stitch them up completely. I love the two black reflective stripes across the chest. You would never know they are there unless you shine a light on them. I love the jacket, I just wish it fit me better. I'm a really skinny guy with almost no body fat. If you are the long and skinny type, this jacket will be lose around your body. This is kind of nice when it's hot out because you get more air flow, but when it's cold, the wind can get to you.

Comments On Jun 16, 2012:You can't beat the quality of this jacket for the price. I finally got what I wanted without having to spending too much. Excellent quality, tons of extras, and awesome look. This jacket also fits true to size. I normally where medium jackets and clothes so instead of going up a size as some of the other reviews insisted, I went by the sizing chart. With the availability of changing the sizes for free it gave me comfort in making the decision. This one fits, no need for an exchange. The shoulder/bicep are a little baggie, but allows for a flexible fit when riding. This jacket is soft and heavy. Good quality leather and comfort. Buy this jacket, you want be disappointed!

Comments On Dec 08, 2011:I've been wanting a good leather jacket for a while now and I'll just say I'm very satisfied. Great price, awesome quality,comfortable, and good looking jacket. I think the sizes run on the big size; I measured my chest and according to RM sizing chart I needed a XL, when the jacket arrived it was too big; my return was a L and fits perfect. - Nate AZ

Very nice finish, with excellent nickle plating
Once again Stewmac did not let me down. Got what I wanted. great product. Great packaging. Keep up the service excellence
very clean, well plated and went on without a glitch. Great look.

Good threads, nice plating...what a difference they made on my banjo (with new hoop, head, bridge, and tailpiece!
Excellent hardware. No burrs or sharp edges. The chrome is flawless.

Pulp Fiction, directed also by QT, was garbage.Siskel and Ebert (obviously, back in the day) raved about it.That´s when I realized that Roger Ebert was nuts and a fruitcake.Never saw, and never will, Reservoir Dogs.Much from Hollywood is overrated, overhyped garbage.And unfortunately, impressionable kids will act out the crap they see.There are many instances of this happening.Hollyweirdoes cannot admit the truth, ever.

OK. I´ll say it again. Having seen the movie, I liked it. It was purely adult fantasy of a time that both director and actor´s "assumed" was correct. It was well written, acted, directed and I especially liked the cinematography. Even the sound track helped move the over 2 1/2 hour movie along.Is this for most? No. But many flocked to see "Reservoir Dogs," "Pulp Fiction," "From Dusk to Dawn," "Jackie Brown," etc. He also help bring one of my most favorite movies, story & visuals, "Hero," with Jet Li, to America.I may not like him personally [like Woody Allen], but I will continue to view and appreciate his movies. Also, with the looming specter of war in the Middle East starting and our fights over Executive Privilege with 0bama, we need to toughen up and be prepared. Whether a violent video game or movie, our senses need to be ready for the shock of what definitely lies ahead for the next four years.

Not buying today Jim.I liked the movie as I did all the others.I hold Tarantino harmless. Movies don´t kill people.

"part of the problem."What is "the problem"? I s´pose that should be defined first.If "the problem" is a society that has been desensitized to violence, then violent movies are part of the problem.If, on the other hand, "the problem" is criminals shooting innocent bystanders, then it seems simplistic to deflect the blame to movies. Plenty of gun owners don´t shoot people with their guns, and plenty of Tarantino fans also resist that compulsion.("Pulp Fiction" is a personal favorite. Just goes to show ya. But I wouldn´t want my 6-year-old granddaughter to be exposed to it.)

#2, I can read my Bible and prepare myself for that.It seems to result in more of a desensitization and hardening of the coarseness of the culture than a ´toughening up´ to battle against such things.It still shocks me to hear curse words coming from the mouths of otherwise attractive young girls engaged in conversations with their peers in restaurants and stores. Some of them throw around the "F" word without batting an eye, as though it is the most natural thing in the world to them. They don´t seem a bit restrained by the presence of elderly or children.

Add me to the list of Tarantino fans. Add "Kill Bill" Vols. 1&2 to the list as well.These are adult films. I suspect way more Tarantino fans haven´t gone on killing sprees than have.Are we going to add Roadrunner cartoons,as well? Wile E. Coyote used all manner of objects to try to wreak havoc on the bird.And I distinctly remember Daffy Duck getting his bill blown off.Less scapegoating and more perp prosecution might be in order.

I agree, Jim. Folks, it is not just violence that is the problem--it is the KIND of violence....the abject gore, the glorifying of thug & criminal behavior, the psychological perversion within the storylines, etc. It´s much MORE than roadrunner cartoon stuff or the old WWII movies (which are harmless). It is movies showing someone slowly sawing off body parts with flesh pieces & blood in clear view which the character then eats noisily; or bullets being sprayed & convulsing bodies writhing in horrific pain as blood gushes profusely all over; or guts hanging out & some sick pervert smears them all over their body; or even, yes, Tarantino movies with constant plotting & killing by bad guys who never get caught or are considered the "hero" even though they are a hit person. People didn´t do mass murders like they do now back in the 30´s, 40´s & 50´s, when we had standards. Tell me now there is NO affect on SOME people! And yes, I believe it affects all of us at some level. We ARE products of our environment

You go, Quentin!Reservoir Dogs - Freshman effort, not his best, and the vulgar dialogue and joke at beginning almost had me turn it off.Jackie Brown - Pretty good.Pulp Fiction - Brilliant on all counts, except for Tarantino´s appearance/scene.Kill Bill - Very good movies, though I´ve only watched them once. That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword.Inglourious B------ - Great, great movie. Made Christoph Waltz a U.S. movie star, and deservedly so.Django Unchained - Good, but not great. It was overlong, and the dialogue scenes weren´t as good as IB. This was his first film on which his editor, Sally Menke (died 2010) did not work, and it shows. A re-edited cut would improve it greatly.

These movies are shown worldwide not just in the U.S. And there are mentally ill worldwide. Yet it is only here where we have the large number of deaths using a gun such as these mass murders in schools and malls. Why is that?

It takes two things to allow a nut case to take out an elementary school - or a movie theater, etc.1. The necessary hardware - which in the case of the school massacre could have been done with something as simple as a machete.2. The necessary idea - that mass murder is a doable - even an exciting thing. Tarantino is not alone as a major provider of mass-murder fantasies (there are a lot of B-movie directors who do the same) - but he is the only one I know of who is lionized by the left - and even some on the right.Personally, I find QT´s stuff pretty juvenile - devoid of subtle adult dialogue - but I guess that´s the idea. He channels our inner teenage boy. I did however, really enjoy Lucy Liu´s entourage entrance into the Japanese restaurant in Kill Bill part One. Beyond that I definitely prefer her role in ´Elementary´, where the main characters display adult intelligence.

Tarantino does trash very well. That is why there is such a split of opinion on him. Personally, I don´t want to see someone´s brains blown out, no matter how cool Uma Thurman and John Travolta were doing that dance.

In the eyes of Hollywood, nothing is sacred. The vulgar, foul, language is Hollywood´s and popular culture´s continuing work to desecrate all things hallowed.

I consider myself having a pretty open mind. I didn´t think "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" were that bad at all. However, both were 2.5 star movies at best, time-killer adult fare. They were not great films, and I gotta laugh that some film schools study Pulp Fiction. Just amazing.After hearing all the fan fare, I watched Kill Bill 1 and 2 back to back. Everything that is wrong with these films, preposterous, overlong, illogical, nonsensical, ripped off from other films, sagging, boring, talky, and all the rest, are cited as GOOD things about the films.The book for me on QT closed with Inglorious Ba$terds, which really is trash with a thin chocolate coating.I am reminded of a sadly truthful film out a few years ago, called "Idiocracy", which portrayed a movie called "Ass", which was nothing but one continuous shot of a man´s buttocks, and the audience was just roaring and quite entertained.It would have been complete if there was a credit for QT on it.

Won´t see django because of the foot in mouth disease of Jamie foxx. I loved Ray but I´m done with Foxx movies.That being said QT movies are great but not for all. Rated R not PG 13. I do resent QT overuse of the N word.

I´m with #4:"What is ´the problem´? I s´pose that should be defined first."We´re not going to come up with a reasonable solution until we are able to decide what the problem is. The anti-gun folks want to ban guns. The anti-violence folks want to blame movies. Others want to blame the lack of mental health care.Before we can determine who (if anyone) has the answer, we ought to try to figure out what exactly is wrong, first.

The violent deaths of "deserving" people is the common tie that binds all Tarantino movies. His gift for understanding the cinematic art notwithstanding, Tarantino has a troubled mind. If Kramer was a hipster doofus, QT is a hipster creep. For all his trappings of "cool", look at him, he ain´t.

Tarantino is an absolute, self-centered tool. I cannot stand his movies and I wish he´d find a 6-foot deep hole and curl up.

Best of the Southwest get dumped on
by Mountain Correspondent on Dec.14, 2012, under Colorado Skiing, General, Resorts
We all knew this storm meant business. I knew it, my fellow skiers and snowboarders knew it, and this crazed-looking guy from the weather channel definitely knew it:
Sure, there was a big winter storm headed for Colorado, but where was it going to hit, and when? Living in the southwest corner of the state, it's often feast-or-famine; when the front range ski resorts are getting pounded, sometimes we're dry as a bone. But my fears vanished when I saw the next image from our deranged, bald meteorologist.

As a former teacher, and the parent of three kids, I've had lots of experience cleaning up messy spills. It's not always as easy as it looks, and, done incorrectly, it's possible to turn a spill into an even bigger mess by using the wrong tools or technique.
Never fear. With a little bit of know-how, clean up's a snap. Here's how to handle some of the most common kid-related spills.
Milk and Ice Cream: If you don't clean dairy spills right away, you may end up smelling sour milk in your car or living room for days (and anyone with kids can tell you how much fun that isn't). Keep a supply of clean, disposable rags or paper towels handy, just in case.
Soak up any liquid by blotting gently and, by all means, do not rub it into your upholstery or rugs. Don't pour water on the spill, even if you're tempted, or you'll end up with a bigger mess and water stains. Avoid the use of hot water or a steam cleaner; instead, use a wet-vac to get up the remainder of the spill, and allow it to air dry if possible.
If the milk has dried, lightly moisten it with a spray bottle of water mixed with a small amount of dish detergent. Keep blotting with dry towels until the surface stains are removed.
Ice cream adds a whole new dimension to dairy spills. Additives like chocolate, berries and food coloring might require the use of special laundry stain removers and results will vary.
Paint: Tempera paint, while generally washable, is commonly used in school projects. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to clean. Try to avoid painting directly from the paint bottle. Instead, pour a small amount of paint into a washable or disposable container and wipe the drips off with a paper towel so you don't leave rings everywhere. Prepare a work surface of paper towels or old newspaper and you'll catch the worst of spills as they happen.
In case tempera paint ends up on a rug or carpet, do not rub it with a cloth - dab it with a dry paper towel. Repeat with clean paper towels until most of the paint has been picked up. Next, apply white vinegar to a clean rag or paper towel and continue to blot. Any remaining color should transfer to the cloth. For lingering stains, first check to see if it's safe to use a carpet cleaner or commercial rug cleaning solution, and then follow the manufacturer instructions.
Use a similar technique to remove tempera paint from clothing. Blot it with a dry paper towel, then, working over a sink or bucket, work small amounts of vinegar over the stain and blot with a clean rag. Cover the area with a stain remover and let it soak; run clean water over it and gently rub until the spot treatment is removed and the water runs clear.
Juice: Juice spills can be tricky. The longer they sit, the more likely they are to stain. Again, the trick is to blot with a dry cloth or towel - don't rub the juice in. After the moisture is wicked out of the fabric, treat any stains left behind. Grape juice spills can be especially stubborn and may require extra effort to clean.
If the surface is detergent-safe, dilute fabric detergent with cold water and lightly spray it on the stain. Do not saturate it, as you may cause spills or stains to bleed. Layer clean, dry towels over it, weighing them down so they keep contact with the spot. Keep doing this until the stain is gone and the fabric is dry.
For stubborn juice spots, you may be able to use a light mist of diluted hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice to lighten any remaining stains from the spill. Be sure you check with the manufacturer as some textiles (like wool rugs and carpets), require special cleaning techniques.
My advice: Keep a cool head, keep some basic cleaning supplies close at hand, and even the scariest kid mess can be handled with ease. You'll save time needed for other important things -- like removing crayon stains from your dryer. Just wait.Content by Kimberly Morgan.

Home About Whistler Whistler Creekside
Whistler's Creekside is steeped in history. As the original base of Whistler Mountain and site of the first gondola,
the 'Creek', as locals call it, is a laid-back, family kind of place that is only 7 kilometres from the hustle and bustle of the main
Village. The Creekside was also the official alpine skiing venue for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In 1966, the first gondola opened at the original base of Whistler Mountain in Creekside. The operation was funded by a group of Vancouver businessmen
who formed the Garibaldi Olympic Development Association (GODA) and had the dream of one day bringing the Winter Olympics to the Coast Mountains.
While GODA was not successful in securing the 1968 bid, their dream was realized in 2010 with the resort hosting the Winter Olympic and Paralympic
Games. All the Alpine Skiing events took place in Creekside, and thousands of spectators, athletes and media personnel packed into the site.
When the sun goes down, the action is just getting started in Creekside. With over a dozen restaurants, cafés and pubs, this neighbourhood
has enough options to suit people of all tastes and ages. Cuisine options range from Japanese to West Coast, and prices vary from family dining to
fine dining. Barbeque aficionados are especially in for a treat, with four mouth-watering meat joints located in the area. Live music is also a
major draw in Creekside, and Dusty's Bar & BBQ is known as one of the best rock venues in Whistler.
Fix Café & Deli
Located in Nita Lake Lodge, this quaint café and deli serves specialty coffees and freshly baked pastries.
Starbucks Coffee
Located in the Franz's Trail shopping complex, this world-renowned coffee house serves its timeless menu of coffee, pasties and sandwiches.
Creekbread has a warm, relaxing, and rustic dining room. All flat bread pizza are made with high-quality, organic ingredients.
Samurai Sushi
A culinary staple in Creekside, Samurai serves a tasty sushi selection at affordable prices for lunch and dinner.
Avalanche Pizza
Avalanche Pizza offers an assortment of pizza options for those on the go. Located on Franz's Trail.
Subway Restaurant
Subway Restaurant offers its classic sandwich selection at affordable prices. The sandwich deli is located on Franz's Trail.
Southside Diner
Those looking for a down-to-earth mountain town experience should head to Southside Diner, located in one of Whistler's most popular hostels across from the Husky gas station.
Boston Pizza
Boston Pizza offers a popular family-friendly menu, with more than 100 items to choose from. The restaurant is located in the Innsbruck Drive complex.
Roland's Pub
Roland's prides itself on treating everyone like a local, and the relaxed atmosphere inside the pub lives up to this claim. With nine flat screen TVs, this laid-back restaurant is a great spot to watch the latest sports game while drinking a beer or eating a burger.
BBQ Bob's Restaurant
Manned by award-winning chef "BBQ" Bob Haselbach, this kid-friendly restaurant provides a backyard barbecue experience without the fuss.
Dusty's Bar & BBQ
Dusty's has been a favorite among locals for both its après drinks in the winter and its patio drinks in the summer. The menu features excellent barbecue cuisine, and in the evening, the restaurant plays host to a vibrant rock scene.
Cure Lounge & Patio
Located at Nita Lake Lodge, this lakeside lounge exudes elegance. Patrons can sip cocktails while gazing out at a crisp mountain lake.
Rim Rock Café
Rim Rock Café may appear modest from the outside, but this high-end restaurant provides such an elegant dining experience that it has developed a reputation as one of Whistler's top dining establishments.
Le Gros
Hidden in a swath of trees, Le Gros is Whistler's answer to European cuisine. The restaurant is stylish without being overtly formal, and the service is friendly.
This high-end restaurant in Nita Lake Lodge serves an eclectic menu of West Coast dishes made from local ingredients.
See Whistler's Dining and Restaurant Guide.
The Creekside offers a wide variety of family-oriented things to do.
With free, underground day skier parking, Whistler Blackcomb Guest Relations, ticket sales, ski & snowboard school,
gondola access, ski shops and more, the Creekside is the perfect location for your winter getaway.
In the summer months, Alpha Lake Park and Nita Lake offer many activities to choose from including swimming, fishing, a playground, volleyball,
basketball, and tennis courts. More on Lakes, Beaches & Parks.
The Valley Trail system, which stretches from the north end of Whistler to the south end, passes
by Creekside and is accessible from both Alpha and Nita Lake. Explore the area on foot, by bike, or inline skates.
Ask your Whistler.com Travel Consultant how you can save both time and money by adding airfares,
transfers, accommodation and more to your activity package. All tours and packages are
in Canadian funds.

Video: Serena Williams whacks mouth with racket, 'busted it wide open'
We say it all the time: The only person who can beat Serena Williams is Serena Williams. So far in Melbourne, she's taking that literally.
On Tuesday, she collapsed to the court after rolling her right ankle in her first-round match. She went on to win 6-0, 6-0. After a closed practice session to evaluate her ankle Wednesday, Williams was back on court Thursday in 100-degree weather for her second-round match against Spanish teen Garbine Muguruza. As if the ankle injury wasn't enough to worry about, Williams bashed herself in the mouth in the first set with her racket, after her follow through on a forehand went awry.
"I just busted it, busted it wide open," she said after the match, laughing.
"I think it happens to everyone, but I have never busted it wide open like that. So, yeah, I was like, Oh, no. I can't have a tooth fall out. That would be horrible.
"I don't know why my racket was even in my face. I mean, it's like I have been playing tennis far too long to hit myself.
"I'm like, come on. Like, Serena, pull yourself together here."
She did in fact pull herself together, winning 6-2, 6-0, firing a 128-mph ace on match point. She was pretty pleased about that one.
… What was that? That was 207km yes 128mph serve! Wha wha whatttt chu say??!!!! Whoop whoop! 📢📣—
Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) January 17, 2013
The good news is Williams' right ankle seems to be doing well. She did not require an MRI and says she was surprised by how good it felt Thursday.
"I didn't feel anything today," she said. "Obviously, when you go out to play, you're heavy on adrenaline and you're really pumped up. Usually I feel injuries after the match, but so far, so good. I felt pretty much better than I ever dreamed of expecting to feel."

Madeira Beach, FL 33708
10% of Those Who Get Diabetes, Will Get it Before the Age of 30 and Lose 14 Years of LifePosted: Tuesday, October 28, 2003
Significant reductions in life expectancy were also shown and the researchers estimate that if an individual "is diagnosed at age 40 years, men will lose 11.6 life-years...and women will lose 14.3 life-years."
Researchers from the US Centers for Disease Control warn of a substantial lifetime probability of developing diabetes for those born in the United States in 2000. The report is published in the October 8 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Diabetes mellitus will likely be diagnosed during the lifetime of 1 in 3 males and 2 in 5 females born in the United States in the year 2000, while among minority populations the estimated lifetime risk of diabetes mellitus is even higher."
There are two types of diabetes Type 1 is called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes. It refers to a condition in which little or no insulin is produced by the pancreas (an organ next to the stomach). This is a rare and severe form of diabetes. It affects about 5 to 10 percent of all diabetics. Daily insulin injections are necessary to survive.
Type 2 diabetes is a far more common condition, affecting about 90 to 95 percent of all cases. Patients with type 2 diabetes do manufacture insulin, sometimes even more than necessary. However, for some reason their bodies reject and/or do not detect it, resulting in what the body perceives as a deficiency. This insulin blockage is due to cell abnormalities of unknown cause in the liver and muscles. The onset of this type of diabetes, was called adult-onset diabetes, because it usually occurs after age 30. But now it is called Type 2 because you do not have to be an adult to have it. Obesity and inactivity seems to play a large role in the development of type 2 diabetes; up to 90 percent of these patients are obese.
